Wyre Forest District Council Homelessness survey launched

/in /by

Residents are being urged to have their say on the future of Worcestershire’s Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy.

The strategy was introduced in 2019 by all councils in Worcestershire.

An online survey has been launched by Wyre Forest District Council asking respondents to comment on proposed changed to the current strategy’s priorities.

The priorities have been updated following the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on tackling homelessness and rough sleeping across the county.

It is hoped the refreshed priorities will build on the excellent partnership work that has taken place throughout the pandemic and support initiatives across Worcestershire to prevent homelessness.

Councillor Nicky Martin, Cabinet Member for Housing, Health, Wellbeing and Democratic Services said: “Local councils are working tirelessly to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping.

“The strategy is an important document that outlines how councils across Worcestershire are preventing homelessness where they can, intervening for those in crisis and helping people recover that have experienced homelessness.

“The survey can be completed by visiting our website – www.wyreforestdc.gov.uk/HRSStrategyconsultation. Please get your responses in before it closes at 5pm on Monday 1 November 2021.”

The strategy expires in 2022, it will then be replaced by a new strategy.

Council welcomes funding for flood defence scheme at Beales Corner

Council welcomes funding for flood defence scheme at Beales Corner

Wyre Forest District Council has welcomed today’s announcement by flooding Minister, Rebecca Pow MP, that £6.2m will be invested in providing permanent flood protection at Beales Corner, Bewdley.

Councillor Nicky Martin, Cabinet member for Housing, Health, Wellbeing and Democratic Services, said:

“Residents on the Wribbenhall side of the River Severn have experienced severe floods last year and earlier this year. Additional concern has been created by the Environment Agency’s decision not to deploy the temporary barriers pending a review of the events surrounding their failure in January 2021. It is very welcome news that permanent defences are going to be implemented, and we will work with the Environment Agency to make sure that they are in place as soon as possible.”

Councillor Helen Dyke, the Leader of the Council, said:

“The Council has passed a number of motions calling on the Government to act and I am pleased to learn of this investment. Our Overview and Scrutiny Committee has done a thorough job in investigating the flooding of 2020. This involved input from

clear recommendations for the future, including the need for these permanent barriers at Beales Corner. We look forward to a planning

application being submitted by the Environment Agency as soon as design works have been completed.”
